Food Scene
Starbucks
210 W North AveCoffee, lunch, good local place. Service sometimes slower than expected but if you want to sit outside and watch the people go by or curl up at a desk upstairs, this is a great spot. They also have almond milk lattes if you're into that kind of thing.

Across the street from Lincoln Park and Lincoln Park Zoo, great place to grab a delicious coffee drink and breakfast. My favorite item is their pb and j made with almond butter and fresh jam. At the bottom of Hotel Lincoln, a neat boutique hotel.

Parks & Nature
Beautiful zoo, and it is FREE admission thanks to generous donors. Take a stroll and stay as long or little as you would like. Great spot to walk to along a path to the lake. I recommend stopping here and walking to the south point, past a pond and over the North Avenue bridge to the beach. Stop and ask Chicagoans if you need to find the way, I trust they will be helpful. Typically open until dusk.

Because Chicago DOES have beaches! This is the closest and is a happening place. Good walk from the coach house, take the scenic route along the lake or through Lincoln Park zoo and across the pond near Cafe Brauer.

Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool
125 W Fullerton Pkwy Urban oasis. Small but beautiful.
Located in the Lincoln Park community, parents gather with their preschoolers at Oz Park to enjoy the park which celebrates "The Wizard of Oz" theme. “Dorothy’s Playlot” is filled with play equipment for the little ones to climb, swing, and run. In the "Emerald Garden", families can enjoy a leisurely afternoon among the beautiful flowers. Take a stroll through the park and you’ll be greeted by statues of the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and everyone’s favorite, Dorothy & Toto. Organized activities for children include soccer and t-ball.
The park features Dorothy's Playground, a community garden, tennis courts, ball fields, basketball courts, and soccer/football fields.

Getting Around
The train is a good option and this is the closest stop. Buses are also an option. I recommend using Google Maps to route your path by choosing the "public transit" selection. It is accurate and considers traffic to configure fastest route.
